1. Police officer helps girl search for boogie man

Officer David Bonday gave the all clear to 4-year-old Sidney Fahrenbruch after the child asked him to search her new house for monsters. Fahrenbruch, who always wanted to be a police officer, doesn’t really buy into the idea of monsters, but she wanted to hang with the police for the day, the Associated Press reported.

“Sidney again wore her police uniform for the hunt, which turned up zero bogeymen,” AP reported.
